• Help Guide Live Data Connection to SAP HANA On-Premise Using a Tunnel Connection
• To configure Live Tunnel Connection with User Name and Password, refer to SAP Blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2020/11/25/what-is-sap-analytics-cloud-tunnel-connection-configure-sac-hana-to-use-tunnel-connection-with-password-authentication

  • Application-to-Application SSO, which is an authentication mechanism available for an HTTP destination, will be used to propagate application user from SAP Analytics Cloud to SAP HANA.
  • So Live Tunnel Connections will always use the default IdP of SAC tenant to setup trust relation between SAP Analytics Cloud & SAP HANA.
  • If you are using the same IdP for SAP HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud, you can create & run one procedure to do it automatically.
  • If you use different IdPs for SAP HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud, you have to do the user mapping one-by-one.
